Disneyland Paris- The Land of Fairytales

EN:

Disneyland Paris opened April 12, 1992 as EuroDisneyland, so we were lucky to visit them on the year of their 20^th anniversary. We chose a two-park, one day ticket, allowing us to visit both Disneyland Paris and the Walt Disney Studios Park next door. We went there on a gloomy November Tuesday, decision which proved to be very wise in the end. The number of visitors was slightly smaller compared to what we had read about the peak season, warmer days and the week-ends, a thing that reduced significantly the time we spent waiting in long queues. After having read horror reviews on the internet prior to our departure, where people were complaining of waiting in line for even 90 minutes (!!!) for some attractions and not being able to try more than 8 on one day, we were happy and proud to be able to try ALL OF THEM! J Just perfect. Still, you should make use of the Fast Pass system available for certain key attractions in order to beat the queues. My favourites were Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Carribean, Rustler’s Roundup Shootin’ Gallery (yes, we couldn’t have missed shooting), Phantom Mansion (all from Disneyland Park), The Twilight Zone Tower and Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith from the Walt Disney Studios Park. Unfortunately, Armaggedon was closed that day, but I heard that it’s totally worth it. I wouldn’t recommend Star Tours to those who suffer of motion sickness, it is far from being spectacular, it just bounces you left/right and up/down until it brings your stomach up your throat.

If you've never been to Disneyland Paris before, the first thing to do is check the times of the spectacular parades featuring all your favourite Disney characters. Trust me, you’re going to love it, whatever your age. Since it was November and extremely cold outside, they added the flavor of some fake snow flakes to the parade, so it felt like pure magic. The Meet& Greets are another unique Disneyland attraction. You have the opportunity to have your picture taken with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Goofy and many others. You can even pose with your favourite Disney Princesses who have their own Pavilion or get their autographs. Also, Disneyland Paris features what might be the world's most impressive Disney castle, Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty's Castle, in French), with an impressive design and decor.

Cunoscutul parc de distractii a fost inaugurat pe 12 aprilie 1992, sub denumirea de EuroDisneyland, asa ca am avut norocul sa-l vizitam in anul aniversarii a 20 de ani de existenta. Am ales bilete pentru ambele parcuri pentru o zi, astfel ca am avut acces atat in Disneyland Paris cat si  in Walt Disney Studios Park. Era o marti mohorata de noiembrie, lucru care s-a dovedit a fi in avantajul nostru, in cele din urma. Numarul vizitatorilor are considerabil mai mic comparativ cu multimea despre care citisem noi ca frecventeaza parcurile in perioadele de varf, zilele mai calduroase si week-end-uri, asa ca am petrecut semnificativ mai putin timp la cozi decat ne-am fi asteptat. Citisem cateva review-uri horror inainte de plecare, in care unele persoane se plangeau ca au petrecut chiar si 90 de minute(!!!)  asteptand sa intre la anumite atractii si ca nu au reusit sa incerce mai mult de 8 intr-o zi, insa noi am fost fericiti si mandrii ca am reusit sa le incercam pe TOATE, asa ca pot spune ca totul a decurs perfect. Cu toate acestea, va sfatuiesc sa apelati la sistemul Fast Pass disponibil pentru anumite atractii cheie, pentru a evita asteptatul la cozi. Printre favoritele mele se numara Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Carribean, Rustler’s Roundup Shootin’ Gallery (nu puteam sa nu tragem cu pusca), Phantom Mansion (toate din Disneyland Park), The Twilight Zone Tower si Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith din Walt Disney Studios Park. Din nefericire, Armaggedon era inchis in acea zi, insa am auzit ca merita din plin.

Daca vizitati parcul pentru prima oara, primul lucru pe care trebuie sa-l faceti, o data ajunsi acolo, este sa verificati orele paradelor personajelor Disney. Credeti-ma pe cuvant, va veti indragosti de ele, indiferent de varsta. Fiind noiembrie si extrem de frig afara (nu subestimati vremea din Paris, este mult mai frig ca la noi), parada a fost condimentata cu o falsa ninsoare, astfel incat chiar m-am simtit parte a unui basm din copilarie. O alta atractie unica marca Disneyland este conceptul Meet& Greet- aveti ocazia de a va fotografia impreuna cu Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Goofy si multi altii. Puteti chiar poza alaturi de printesele voastre favorite din lumea Disney, care au propriul pavilion sau colectiona autografele lor. Tot aici gasiti si probabil cel mai impresionant castel Disney din lume, cel al Frumoasei din padurea adormita, cu un design si decor cu adevarat impresionante.
